[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 231969, member: 6152"] Sniper, I too am a drag racer, currently run a 1/4 mile Alcohol car. I'm used to horsepower, lots of it. And I like horsepower in my rifles also.. Black Diamond is absolutely correct. Build your .338 on the .408 case and improve it. Realistically, you will see 3200-3300 fps with a 300 gr bullet and a 33" barrel. Your accuracy will fall somewhere around the 3200 mark. You can't get there with the .378 or the Lapua case. Barrel life may be a bit shorter than the smaller .338's but that's the trade off for the additional horsepower. [/QUOTE]
